Number of hoplinks vs. sales - conversion tracking problem

[cchap]

I've been having some trouble trying to track my converting keywords. This particular niche does not have a contact email to get the google tracking code on the publisher's thank you page so I have to do it manually. I want to learn to use subid's and tid's correctly. Here's what I've done...

I'm using clickbank's tid for this example.

For my destination url for each keyword I'm using
http://www.mywebsite.com/?tid=1

On my website I'm using
http://affiliate.publisher.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=

<?php echo $_REQUEST[‘tid’]; ?>

When I checked my clickbank analytics it said I had 138 hoplinks with no tracking codes. Can somebody give me more advice on using tid's correctly? Is there something wrong with the setup? Also, google advertisements have to have a destination url too. If I have a specific destination url for each keyword then what should my destination url be for my ads that belong in adgroups with multiple keywords? I just used
http://www.mywebsite.com for my destination urls in my ads. How do I pass the tid through to the ad's destination url and also to my clickbank offer once they click on my site so I can view my tracking codes for my hoplinks in my clickbank account?

Also, out of 138 hoplinks I made 2 sales? Would you consider this a dead niche?
Thanks for the help. :rasta:

Test it by copying and pasting your keyword destination url, then hover over the link to the affiliate and see if it has added the TID. If not, test to make sure you are using the proper php coding. When I copied and pasted your code, it had changed the single quotation to a different symbol.

Other than that it looks like you have it set up right and you also seem to understand the process correctly.

Also, if you want to message me on AIM, I'll lend a hand.

Assign the tid value to a new variable at first [after catching your ad triggered keyword] and echo the new variable in your passing hop link.
